🇰🇭🇹🇭 Cambodia has launched a bold three-pronged strategy—military buildup, symbolic leadership, and limited diplomacy—along the Thai border, exploiting Thailand’s fragmented security response. With tanks, missiles, and political gestures, Cambodia is asserting territorial claims while Thailand faces internal disarray. Experts warn that inaction could embolden further aggression and undermine regional stability.

⚡️🇺🇸🇷🇺 Politico reports that U.S. senators are considering a comprehensive bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia and its largest energy customers, notably China and India.

The proposed legislation, known as the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, includes a 500% tariff on imports from nations purchasing Russian oil, natural gas, or uranium. With backing from 81 senators across party lines, the bill aims to intensify pressure on Russia's wartime economy.

Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal are leading the initiative, citing recent Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russia as evidence of Ukraine’s strategic capability and determination. The bill's progression, however, hinges on President Donald Trump's support, whose stance remains uncertain.

🇲🇽 Captain BJ Dart on X: Michoacán is transforming into a minefield patrolled by drones in the sky.

Most nations are not equipped to deal with this.

Mexican authorities are reporting finding on average about 5 times more explosive devices than in 2022.

The cartels are also running recruitment operations for explosives experts and engineers.

That includes ex-combatants from conflicts in the ME and Ukraine.

There are few signs of this deescalating anytime soon.

Mexico has always had geographical issues that made power projection from Mexico City difficult: mines, drones, and surveillance technology make this even harder in the 21st century.

🇸🇩🇦🇪 Sudan's booming wartime gold trade flows through the UAE

Sudan's gold industry has become the lifeblood of its war, with nearly all of the trade channelled through the United Arab Emirates, enriching both the army and paramilitaries, sources say.

The two-year conflict has decimated Sudan's economy, yet last month the army-backed government announced record gold production in 2024. Demand for the country's vast gold reserves was "a key factor in prolonging the war," Sudanese economist Abdelazim al-Amawy told AFP.

🇵🇱🎉🗳 Congratulations to Karol Nawrocki for winning in the 2025 Polish presidential elections!

Although Nawrocki being president won't replace the liberal pro-EU premier, Donald Tusk, from power, I will be considering Poland as a "sovereignist" country and expect its relations with Hungary and the Visegrad group to improve after this victory.

Tusk's Civic Coalition not having control over the Polish presidency also makes it more difficult for the EU to implement their projects and Hungary has won another veto partner in the European Council.

Next September, Parliamentary elections in Moldova may see the Action & Solidarity Party (PAS) lose majority and need a coalition to keep ruling. Moldova will not turn against the EU any time soon though, PAS will still win the most seats but not enough for a clear majority as the Moldovan opposition is quite incompetent as all opposition parties to PAS are social-democrat/leftist and all fight each other for the same voter base.

In October, Czechia is holding legislative elections and the rightwing ANO and SPD parties are expected to perform much better than in 2021 and the current pro-EU coalition is expected to lose the majority they have in the Czech Parliament. An ANO victory means the reactivation of the Visegrad Group, which has been dormant for the past 5 years.

🇺🇸🇸🇾 NEW: Nearly a quarter of U.S. troops have withdrawn from Syria.

About 500 U.S. troops have withdrawn from Syria in recent weeks, two U.S. officials tell Fox News. Three U.S. bases have been either turned over to the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) or closed down. This includes Mission Support Site Green Village which has been shut down, and Mission Support Site Euphrates which has been handed over to the SDF. U.S. troops have also vacated from a third much smaller outpost.

Back in April the Pentagon announced it would consolidate the 2,000 U.S. forces in Syria to under 1,000.

In a statement Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell referrenced the fight against ISIS. "Recognizing the success the United States has had against ISIS, including its 2019 territorial defeat under President Trump, today the Secretary of Defense directed the consolidation of U.S. forces in Syria under Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve to select locations in Syria," Parnell said in the April statement.

More than 2,500 ISIS fighters remain in Syria and Iraq. Tens of thousands of refugees with ties to ISIS remain at al-Hol and al-Roj displaces persons camps in northeast Syria. About 9,000 ISIS detainees remaining SDF guarded prisons in Syria.

🤖🇮🇳 Bankrupt Microsoft-Backed 'AI' Company Was Using Indian Engineers To Fake It: Report

Last week, British AI startup backed by Microsoft and the Qatar Investment Authority, Builder.ai, filed for bankruptcy after its CEO said a major creditor had seized most of its cash.

Valued at $1.5 billion after a $445 million investment by Microsoft, the company claimed to leverage artificial intelligence to generate custom apps in 'days or weeks,' which would produce functional code that had less human involvement.

Now they've gone cloth-off... as Bloomberg reports they had a 'fake it till you make it' strategy while having inflated 2024 revenue projections by 300%. Instead of AI, the company was actually using a fleet of more than 700 Indian engineers from social media startup VerSe Innovation for years to actually write the code.
